What does it take now to have a successful season?

I thought we'd have a successful season if we could end up 8-4. That didn't envision a loss to MN. However, I'll stick with the 8-4 record.

We need to win out with no more than 1 loss--and win a bowl game for me to look back on the season with a positive feeling. I think it's still possible to be 9-3, but 6-6 is also possible. While the team has been inconsistent, our problems are all fixable. I think we will beat both WI and OSU so I'm going with a final prediction of 9-3 plus a bowl win, and I can tolerate one more loss and still feel good about this team.
